Credit/No Credit

A student may elect one course each semester (a summer session is considered as a semester) for which he/she chooses to be graded based on credit/no credit. A student must declare the grading option by the end of the 4th week of the semester and the end of the first class day in the summer. The credit/no credit refers only to the final grade in the course, as recorded by the Registrar. Nothing will change in the content of the course and the course examinations. When a student completes the course, he/she will receive a letter grade. If that grade is at least a “C," the student will receive credit (P) for the course. If the letter grade is lower than a “C" grade, the student will receive an F grade for the course. In either case, the student's GPA will not be affected. This grading system is at the option of the student, but will operate with the following restrictions:

1. The option is available only to students who have completed 25 semester hours and are in good academic standing.
2. The student must have met all of the pre-requisites required for enrollment in the course chosen.
3. The course chosen cannot be used to meet major, comprehensive major, minor, or endorsement area requirements.
4. The student may choose only one course per term may be taken, and no more than 12 credit hours may be completed and counted toward graduation.
5. A maximum of 18 credit hours may be taken on a credit/no credit basis.
6. Students wishing to declare a course P/Fx must do so through the Office of the Registrar no later than the 4^th week of the term (Spring or Fall). The P/Fx option grading option cannot be changed after the deadline.

The responsibility for assuring that the student satisfies the above restrictions lies with the student and his/her advisor. The actual granting or withholding of credit is the responsibility of the Registrar's Office.
